Bug Description

When I select files below in Nautilus, the GUI opens and everything works correctly:

~/untitledfolder/1.jpg
~/untitledfolder/2.jpg

- It does not matter if the selected files or folders contain spaces or not, only if a parent folder (any of them) has a space in the name
- It's possible that other special characters also cause this, but I have not found any yet by random testing
- nautilus-renamer_4.0-quantal_all, reprod on a) Nautilus v3.4.2, Ubuntu 12.10 64bit b) Nautilus 3.6.3, Ubuntu 13.04 64bit

I have tested this behavior under GNOME nautilus 3.8.1. This problems seems to be with the invalid URI's passed by nautilus to its bulk-rename-tool, registered in '/org/gnome/nautilus/preferences/bulk-rename-tool'.

For example, for the selected files "/home/thura/Development/nautilus-renamer/untitled/untitled 2/testfile*", nautilus passed the following uris as arguments.

As the nautilus bug is still open and has had no attention, here is a workaround:

Install the Nautilus-Actions Configuration Tool, create a new action and in the Command tab set the path to /usr/share/nautilus-renamer/nautilus-renamer.py and the parameters to %U (a space separated list of the file/folder URIs which correctly encodes spaces as "%20" instead of "0")
